Assessment Instruction Sheet

We suggest the following exercises:

- To pre-assess / Formative assessments

Use method Piece- of- the basket in different ways (a basket as a container for anonymous thoughts written down in pieces of paper):

To discuss sensitive issues - participants respond anonymously and when patches are drawn and answers are read, they remain anonymous. The answers and opinions will then be the basis for a discussion without being "hung out".

As a rehearsal or a basis for discussion – how can we deal with xenophobia and prejudice? – trainers will write and then will discuss with trainees possible solutions, which are going to be de basis of role-plays.

- Formative assessments

Guidelines given by trainer to be followed. An assessment grid can easily scale the abilities that are expected and achieved by each trainee.

- Final evaluation

Launch the event (Final Performance).

Assess the success of the Final Performance event and the role each of the trainees had in the organization of the play – (see Participation and responsibility assessment criteria).

Evaluate the performance of each trainee in the play - (see Participation and responsibility assessment criteria and Matters domain assessment criteria).
